Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times: Chicago Blackhawks Brendan Perlini is just one of many unsigned restricted free agents.
The big named RFAs are holding up the market, and it’s trickled down to some UFAs. There are 14 teams that have over $7 million in salary cap space. UFAs like Jake Gardiner, Derick Brassard, and Patrick Maroon remain unsigned.
The Blackhawks still plan on re-signing Perlini.
